Testimonials
We all are in this. Together!
I came to know about Sarathi via a Ph.D. scholar from my department. I had a long conversation with Mrs. Bhooma Krishnan where I poured my heart out and cried like hell. That day I slept like a baby after fighting depression for almost 8 months. After following the prescribed steps I can now feel the fresh and cool breeze. Now I look towards each day with a positive mindset and start living my life to the fullest. There's help, and there will always be, and I know it sounds cliche, but it's true. I hope you find your driving force and fight this with all your might. There's no need for you to go through this all alone. We all are here for you. We are in this fight together.
A Ph.D. scholar
Made me understand myself!
There was a phase in my life where I was not knowing what I was doing nor why I was doing, stuck in a loop and not able to get out of it and at the top of it there was a lot of confusion. I got to know about YourDost through Sarathi and approached a counsellor. The sessions were on audio call and gave me so many perspectives about myself which I was unaware of. Managing my emotions, being forgiving to the mistakes of others and moreover forgiving myself… The first step to be at peace is to console yourself and trust me I’m learning that art!
The Silent Repenter
Light at the end of the tunnel
I was (and still am) at maybe the lowest point of my life. I didn’t know who to talk to. Certain events had brought to the fore my worst. The traumas of childhood which were denied existence from the point of occurrence were pushing back. I didn’t know what to do, what to think, where to go. One day I was standing on my balcony and suddenly a flicker of thought went through. “Should I jump?” I was aghast. I didn’t know I was capable of this thought. My conception of myself was shaken to the core. I took help from the counsellor and she made me reflect and think on certain things very differently. I am not better yet, I am not happy, I am not fine, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The sessions are very helpful. They helped me to find the root of the issue and how to get past it. I started thinking in a new way and approaching situations better. I thank all the GCU team for arranging this in our institute.
